The explosion-engines present the disadvantage, tha-tihe umnimuni pressure prevails in the cylinder only niter lilo passage oi the crunk pin through the dead point, so that the driving poorer produced is but im perlen-ily utilized und the Wanted uses escape into the atmosphere while still possessing a. considerable pressure und temperature. The combustion-engines, on the commi-y, require a very coiriiderablecomprension of the wir, so thatlhe high temperature oi the letter thereby produced' censos e strong heating of the eylinder wells ond consequently neceeeituteenn increased cooling surface oi the' cylinder ond n cooling power,v Y,

which in proportion increased.

Our invention relates to :in improvement in four stroke fihi-ele hy'droearbo o-enginee,A whereby .the said diszulvzuuages are removed, the features ol the explosion-engines und the combustionenginee being combined, in order to avoidthe sudden, violent explosion caused by the ignition of a. Compressed mixture of nirziml combustible, the air is according to ou'involition lonipreosed vonly to suoli 2i temperature While being mired with :i very small quantity of gasiied comhustihlo, that in the proximity of the deed point the nurture` is capable of igniting itself, The explosion thereby produced in very week, hun suiirf'ient' to cause un inn'rezine of ille temperature within the working space of the cylinder and ut the Home time also on inox-ener: of the preeuiu'e of the ignited mixture. From this nioxneiit e further quantity of combustible `is gradually injected und ignited to prevent the expanding inixturej vhiCh nots upon me piston, from cooling ns long :is the rzoinbunlihle ie being supplied.

Tlie'olijoet of our improvement is to provide :in injecting device with n spring-press`ed valve and a i shallow cylindrical box beneath the valve, `Whicl1 pacification el? Lettere Ielzent.
